The solar flare from sunspot 1158 is reportedly the largest one of the year or strongest in four years.
"CME shall hit Earth's magnetic field on 17th Feb by afternoon hours ( GMT) resulting into minor storming in late period as magnetic field of earth destabilizes and pouring down some solar wind creating Auroras in High latitude regions
As mentioned earlier, its a series of CME so more action is likely to be reserved on 18th Feb as minor storming is expected. "
Many questions..

Oh wow I wonder just how much of an effect this will have... also hoping some of that aurora gets photographed.
